Marcus was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Glasgow Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,000 short. my father has been in and out of Glasgow Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marcus struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Marcus won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,000 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $440 • Travel and lodging for the family: $155 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,405 Thanks for being kind about this. - Tyler
